Causing Irreversible Damage to Teeth

An "alarming increase" in the consumption of sports and energy drinks is causing irreversible damage to teeth, according to researchers in a

new study. Adolescents are being affected by the damage more than any other age group, they say. The high acidity levels in the drinks erode the tooth enamel, the glossy outer layer of the tooth. Damage to tooth enamel is ir-reversible, and without the protection of enamel, teeth become overly sensitive, prone to cavities, and more likely to decay. The study is published in the May/June 2012 issue of General Dentistry, the peer-reviewed clinical journal of the Academy of General Dentistry. "Young adults con-sume these drinks assuming that they will improve their sports performance and energy levels and that they are ‘better' for them than soda," said Dr. Poonam Jain, lead author. "Most of these patients are shocked to learn that these drinks are essentially bathing their teeth with acid." Researchers examined the acidity levels in 13 sports drinks and nine energy drinks. They found that the acid-ity levels can vary between brands of beverages and flavors of the same brand. To test the effect of the acidity levels, they immersed samples of human tooth enamel in each beverage for 15 minutes, followed by immersion in artificial saliva for two hours. The cycle was repeated four times a day for five days, and the samples were stored in fresh artificial saliva at all other times. "This type of testing simulates the same exposure that a large proportion of American teens and young adults are subjecting their teeth to on a regular basis when they drink one of these beverages every few hours," said Dr. Jain. What they found is that damage to enamel was evident after only five days of exposure to sports or energy drinks, although energy drinks showed a significantly greater potential to damage teeth than sports drinks. In fact, the authors found that energy drinks caused twice as much damage to teeth as sports drinks. It's important to educate parents and young adults about the down-side of these drinks. AGD reports that 30 to 50 percent of U.S. teens consume energy drinks, and as many as 62 percent consume at least one sports drink per day. "Teens regularly come into my office with these types of symptoms, but they don't know why," said Dr. Jen-nifer Bone, an AGD spokesperson. "We review their diet and snacking habits and then we discuss their consumption of these beverages. They don't realize that something as seemingly harmless as a sports or energy drink can do a lot of damage to their teeth."

Dr. Bone recommends that her patients minimize their intake of sports and energy drinks. She also advises them to chew sugar-free gum or rinse their mouths with water following consumption of the drinks. "Both tactics increase saliva flow, which naturally helps to return the acidity levels in the mouth to normal," she said. Also, patients should wait at least an hour to brush their teeth after consuming sports and energy drinks. Otherwise, said Dr. Bone, they will be spreading acid onto the tooth surfaces, increasing the erosive action.

While these statistics may seem grim, the risks of falls, particu-larly in the bathroom, can be minimized with bathtub modification products. Bathroom safety is of paramount concern and impor-tance for the elderly and disabled, and if certain basic precautions are not taken, there can be very serious consequences for our loved ones. The bathtub itself is a particularly perilous area in the home. However, modifications can be made to your bathroom to prevent falls before they occur. The addition of grab bars, a walk in shower, or a walk in tub may be necessary to safeguard you or a loved one against fall injuries.

Preventing Falls in the Bathroom

Submitted by Re-Bath

Fall prevention is a growing area of concern and attention due to the startling impact falls have on the lives of seniors. Falls are the leading cause of injury death and are a significant threat to se-

niors’ safety and independence. A few quick facts on the importance of fall prevention:• One-third of Americans age 65 and over falls each year.• Every 15 seconds, an older adult is treated in the emergency room for

a fall; every 29 minutes, an older adult dies following a fall.• Falls are the leading cause of fatal injury and the most common cause

of nonfatal trauma-related hospital admissions among older adults.


Fall prevention begins with removing the barriers or impedi-ments seniors, or individuals with mobility issues, face when trying to access the bathtub. Some options available for safeguarding the bathroom include:• Cut through step: By modifying your existing bathtub, the risk of

falls is reduced because a section of the existing bathtub is cut away and removed and the resulting opening is fit with a shower threshold, modifying your existing bathtub into a more accessible unit.

• Shower Bases: A low profile walk in shower is the easiest shower to walk into. The curb height averages 1–½” high. Low profile bases are a dramatic change from a tall tub or even a regular shower. A low profile base can also be used for wheel chair access when installed using an add-on ramp. Standard showers come with a 5” threshold allowing easier access in and out of the shower. There are two styles of standard height shower bases: one without a seat, and the other with a 17” ADA height seat built into the shower base.

• Walk-in tubs: These provide peace of mind when it comes to preventing falls in the bathroom. From hydrotherapy to the slip resistant bottom to the built-in seat and grab bars, bathing has never been so easy. Walk-in tubs provide a number of safety benefits as well as health benefits that can greatly improve your quality of life. The air and water jets of these tubs are designed to help ease the symptoms of arthritis, circulatory issues, os-teoarthritis, weakness, and various pains. Most elderly people prefer bathing over showering and the opportunity to do this independently and safely can lead to a higher quality of life for a longer period of time.

Something to SMILE

about!


Trusting someone else to care for your loved one is never an easy de-cision. The feelings of fear and guilt

you may experience after your loved one moves into a long-term care facility make your confidence in your decision even more important. Ensure that the people you love most are receiving the best care possible by doing your homework before you decide on a long-term care facility. But, how do you evaluate something like quality? Whose advice can you trust, and whose opinion matters most? Read further for practical ways to assess the long-term care facilities in your area. Choosing from a long list of pos-sible centers to care for your loved one can be a daunting task. Use some com-mon health care community reports and awards to narrow down your options to facilities that you know have a reputation for quality care. State and federal agencies conduct their own surveys to evaluate the quality of nursing centers. These government-mandated evaluations adhere to strict standards. They require an unannounced inspection of the facility and resident, family, and staff interviews. These surveys provide a very accurate picture of the quality of care you can expect your loved one to receive. To obtain survey results, just ask a facility’s administration team. They should be happy to provide you with this important information. The Joint Commission on the Accredi-tation of Healthcare Organizations sets high standards for health care quality then awards accreditation based on a facil-ity’s ability to meet those standards. Ac-creditation is mandatory for many health care providers, such as hospitals, but it is optional for long-term care companies. A long-term care facility must ask the Com-mission to visit their facility and evaluate areas that may need improvement. Once the investigation is complete and a facil-ity performs to the set standards, they are awarded the Gold Seal of Approval. The best way to determine if a facility meets your needs, though, is to go see it for yourself. Use the five senses test:

Make a Quality DecisionSubmitted by Parkview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

emotional


• Look: See if the facility is clean, well-kept, and attractive. Does it look homelike? When you pass staff members, visitors, and residents, are they smiling?

• Smell: Do the resident rooms and common areas smell fresh or medicinal? Do the restrooms smell clean?

• Hear: Listen to the sounds in the facility. Do you hear staff members speaking in polite, friendly voices? Are residents laughing? Can you hear activities being conducted in the facility?

• Touch: Touch the furnishings and equipment in the facility. Are the beds, sofas and chairs soft and sturdy? Do they feel like good quality pieces? Do the surfaces in the restrooms and common areas feel clean?

• Taste: Eat at least one meal in the facility’s dining room. Is the food served piping hot and delicious? Do residents have options when choosing a meal? Is the food of the quality you would serve to your family?

After taking a general tour of the facility and evaluating it using the five senses test, ask to speak with professionals in various depart-ments. Visit the rehabilitation gym and ask to speak with a therapist and observe patient treatments. Also, ask to see an activities calendar. Speak to the facility’s administrator and other management profession-als. Judge the interaction. Do they seem to be honest and up-front? Will they be easy to work with regarding your loved one’s care? After all, it is imperative that you feel comfortable with the selection of individuals responsible for your loved one’s care. All these experiences will inform you about the lifestyle the facility offers. And you’ll feel more comfortable making a decision based on first-hand knowledge. One thing is certain, the more care you take to choose the right long-term care environment, and the more involved you become in your loved one’s life at the facility, the better their experience will be.

Take the Stress Out of Backyard Entertaining

nutritional

Warm weather provides the perfect excuse to gather all your loved ones together for good food and fun. And while people relish the idea of catching up with family and friends, planning

and preparing for these festivities may be daunting, as well as time-consuming. A few tips, however, can help make sure you aren’t tied to your kitchen—and help turn your traditional recipes into fabulous fare.

Plan Early Consider the location, timing, guest list, budget, and any other fac-tors relevant to your gathering. These details will help you shape a menu that doesn’t break your back or the bank. Remember that simple entertaining can be just as fun—if not more—than fine dining.

Keep the Menu Simple Delicious and memorable don’t have to mean complicated and ex-pensive. Choose recipes that are simple to prepare, require only a

“I finally decided to get my walk-in tub from RE-BATH and I can bathe again safely!”If you or a loved one has had to give up the therapeutic benefits of a relaxing, refreshing bath, then you should consider a walk in tub. A deep, full body warm soak or therapeutic massage is great for arthritis pain, rheumatism, back pain and other common ailments. The freedom will change your life.

A walk in tub makes it easy to get in and out of the tub and enjoy the comforts of bathing. They are designed to give you the freedom to bathe on your own in safety, comfort, and convenience. There is no more struggling to get in and out of the tub. Walk in tubs make warm baths accessible to people who thought they’d never enjoy the luxury on their own again. We prepare your home for independent, easy living with a walk-in tub.

It is a fact. The main reason that people move out of their home and into assisted living or nursing homes is because of the fear of slipping and falling. The number one place for falls to occur is in the bathroom. A walk-in tub represents a sound investment into the future, it enhances the value of the home, and enables our clients to stay safely and independently in the home they own. Re-Bath is the leading manufacturer of acrylic walk in tubs complete with ADA compliant chair-height seats. Our “outswing door” allows full passage in and out of the tub without having to step around. The low threshold makes for easier access, and grab bars are built in for safety. All Re-Bath walk in tubs come with a lifetime warranty against leaks. Call Re-Bath today at 270-444-6649 for a free in home consultation and let them prepare yourhome for independent, easy living with a walk in tub.

Line Up Help Enlist your family and friends to help with grocery shopping, prep work, cooking and, most importantly, cleanup. By dividing the tasks, you won’t feel over-whelmed or overburdened plus you will have plenty of time to mingle with guests.

Paducah native and University of Kentucky Graduate, Dr. Charles Bohle, founder and owner of Bohle Family Dentistry, has learned a great number of lessons about providing the very

best service to his patients over the nearly 30 years in which he has been in professional practice. Bohle Family Dentistry began serv-ing the Paducah area in 1995 and “prides itself on thorough patient education, gentle treatment methods, well-trained staff, and quality patient service.” Not only does Bohle’s practice, which includes three dentists and 35 staff members, provide the most up-to-date care in a

friendly and caring environment, but they also strive to truly meet the needs of the community when it comes to their dental health. Bohle Family Dentistry is a practice that is prepared to serve patients who range from anywhere between the toddlers years to the golden years. The practice has served patients as young as 18 months and as old as 106. According to Bohle, “We want to make sure that we are able to meet the needs and deal with the unique issues of people of all ages. Our staff is committed to staying edu-cated and up-to-date on the best ways to treat patients of all ages.”

From left to right: Dr. Sparks, Dr. Bohle, and Dr. Mahan


Establishing good oral health practices (getting regular check-ups twice per year, brushing teeth after meals, flossing, and choosing the right foods to eat) at an early age can provide individuals with a strong foundation that can last them a lifetime. Bohle notes with a grin, “You don’t have to brush all of your teeth…just the ones you would like to keep.” Additionally, the stress and fear that plague many individuals throughout their lives can be reduced by ensuring that childhood visits to the dentist are positive and fun. Therefore, Dr. Bohle encourages parents to begin a positive education about the dentist’s office in order to prepare a child for his or her first visit to the dentist. Then he sug-gests that parents bring a young child to the parent’s checkup, where the child can learn about what takes place in the office and can also play and have a fun interaction with the staff at the office. Typically, then, children will return shortly after that visit to have an exam and cleaning. Dr. Bohle explains that his staff focuses on taking the time to make their young patients feel comfortable. “We talk to them on their level, and we want to make it fun and easy so that they actually look forward to coming back and seeing us. Since most of the time the big-gest fear is the fear of the unknown, we work on teaching them while treating them,” explains Bohle. Perhaps the quality that distinguishes his practice the most, how-ever, is the commitment of the doctors and staff of Bohle Family Den-tistry to breaking down the barriers that so often cause people to avoid the dentist. One of the barriers cited by many patients, for example, is that they are simply too busy to visit the dentist and that the typical dentist’s office does not offer convenient hours of operation. This is certainly not the case for patients at Bohle Family Dentistry, who can take advantage of evening appointments (the office is open until 7 p.m. on Wednesdays), Friday appointments, and even appointments on Sat-urday mornings (offered two different Saturdays per month). Dr. Bohle, who understands how demanding today’s families’ schedules can be, urges people: “Don’t miss another day of school or work for a dentist appointment. We want to make this as convenient as possible and do our best to work around your busy schedule.” Yet, another way Bohle Family Dentistry works to encourage reluctant or nervous patients to visit the dentist is by providing sedation dentistry. In fact, in 2011 the Consumers’ Research Council named Dr. Bohle one of the nation’s Top Sedation Dentists. Completing a number of continu-ing education courses in a variety of areas of dentistry, Dr. Bohle, Dr. Mahan, and Dr. Sparks have all become one of a very small number of dentists in Kentucky to be IV Sedation Certified. Bohle Family Den-tistry offers both IV and oral sedation, which helps to relieve the stress that many patients feel when the need to visit the dentist. Patients who choose to take advantage of sedation dentistry are not aware of the procedure happening and will likely have no memory of the experience, and these patients will also feel relaxed after the treatment is completed. Sedation could be the answer for people whose fears are keeping them from having a healthy mouth, people who want an anxiety-free experience at the dentist’s office, people with gum or tooth sensitivity, people who are afraid of dental injections, people who have not been to the dentist in a long time, or for people who have complex dental problems. One sedation patient remarked that Bohle Family Dentistry’s sedation option gave her a reason to smile again, and another patient reported that she has never been more comfortable in a dentist’s office in her life. Those interested in learning more about sedation dentistry services offered by Bohle Family Dentistry can view a brochure on the practice’s website. Knowing the importance of creating a welcoming and comfortable environment in the office, Bohle Family Dentistry uses a great deal of creativity to make the entire experience of visiting the dentist as pleas-ant as possible. The office offers free wi-fi service to patients, televi-

sions and music in each room, and a friendly and approachable staff. The practice also strives to build relationships with patients and let them know they are valued and appreciated. For example, patients receive e-mails and text messages from the practice to wish them a happy birthday. Patients can also receive reminders about upcoming appointments both through postal mail and text message. In order to meet the needs of current and future patients and make appointments as accessible as possible, Dr. Bohle practices with two other dentists, Dr. John Mahan and Dr. Michael Sparks, both graduates of the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry. Dr. Bohle serves as their mentor and each of these dentists approach patient care with simi-lar values. According to Dr. Bohle, “We tell patients what they need and do our very best to give them what they want. We strive to equip them with the knowledge they need to make the best decisions about their care, and we do it in an honest and approachable way.” Dr. Mahan is a highly trained professional who is dedicated to con-tinuing education that allows him to offer the latest advancements in cosmetic dentistry and new technology. He is a member of the Ameri-can Dental Association and is licensed to practice both IV and oral se-dation dentistry. Believing in treating patients with the utmost respect while providing them with the best treatment, Dr. Mahan states, “I never lecture any patient, and I treat everyone how I would like to be treated.

My job is to not only diagnose and care for my patients, but also to educate them so that we can prevent future problems before they arise. Earning the trust of a patient who has had a bad dental experience in the past is what I love most about my work." Dr. Sparks, a native of Arizona, is a member of the American Dental As-sociation as well as the American Association of Endodontics. He is certified in both IV and oral sedation dentistry and strives to stay as up-to-date as possible with the ever-evolving field of dentistry. Dr. Sparks is committed to continually furthering his education and broadening his knowledge and skills because he believes that his patients deserve to benefit from whatever advancements can improve their overall oral health. A dentist who is pas-sionate about working with patients of all ages, Dr. Sparks works with his patients to teach them about prevention rather than intervention. Patients will also interact with team members from the dental hy-giene department, the dental assistant department, and the office staff. Each of these departments is committed to doing their part to make a patient’s visit as pleasant as possible. Dr. Bohle is exceptionally proud of his staff, and he notes, “On our patient surveys that we distribute, the number one comment our patients make is that the staff is so nice, and since they are the face of the practice, I think this is an extremely important attribute that we possess.” Another quality Bohle values in his staff is their intelligence because he feels this is a key indicator for their success in the practice. The staff members are highly trained and, like the dentists, are committed to ongoing education. Dr. Bohle makes sure that “the face of his practice” is a group of people who are self-motivated, friendly, intelligent, and compassionate. Because of its dedicated staff and the leadership provided by Dr. Bohle, the practice offers patients a full range of services that often can-not be found in all dental practices. As mentioned earlier, the practice offers both IV and oral sedation. Mini dental implants, cosmetic den-tistry, reconstructive dentistry, oral surgery, preventative care, veneers, crowns, bridges, and restorative dentistry are all available. In addition, Dr. Bohle is also a certified Invisalign practitioner. Invisalign is an alter-native to braces, which is a removable and practically invisible system used to straighten teeth. Typically taking around a year to complete the course of treatment, Invisalign patients visit the dentist about every six to eight weeks and receive adjustments, and at regular intervals they receive new custom-molded clear aligners. Clear, comfortable, and convenient, Invisalign is a new way for people to become more confident in their smiles. Bohle Family Dentistry is transforming the typical dental office ex-perience and exceeding patients’ expectations because of its commit-ment to education, gentle treatment, full-service dentistry, and overall customer service. Dr. Bohle has set exceptionally high standards for both himself and his staff, and he explains, “Taking someone who never smiles because they are embarrassed by their looks and turning them into someone with the confidence of a beaming smile is what it is all about. It is exhilarating to help people knock down their obstacles to dental treatment and give them a beautiful white smile." Having a leader who is so passionate about helping others feel great about themselves while also providing them with a comfortable place to receive excellent care is a huge part of what makes Bohle Family Dentistry such a unique practice. With its competitive pricing, excel-lent staff, welcoming facility, and commitment to high standards, the practice is striving to be the best dental practice possible in order to serve people of a various ages and with various needs.

strength and fitness

Have you ever heard your child say?My shoulder hurts when I throw…My elbow hurts when I pitch…My back hurts after practice…I feel like I twisted my knee while running…

You then took him/her to a doctor and the X-rays looked okay or the MRI was fine. There was really no answer other than maybe they are growing or changing how they are doing something

in their particular sport. One reason these issues could be occurring is due to weak core muscles (abdominal, back, and pelvic muscles). When kids grow, they often grow fast and their muscles and tendons have a hard time catching up to their bone growth, which can result in weakened muscles, especially the core muscles. Kids need to have strong abdominals and back muscles to aide in their throwing, running, tumbling, dancing, swinging, and all other activities their sport may require. There are screening activities that

Core Stability and Why it isImportant to Athletes

can reveal weak core muscles such as the plank exercise (see picture demonstrated by Chaney Troutman, competitive dancer). Have your child lie down on their stomach and come up on their elbows and toes to suspend their body and hold that position for at least one minute without major shaking. If they cannot do this simple core stability ex-ercise, they may have weak core muscles. Physical therapists are experts in identifying muscle weakness and can develop a plan to improve strength and fitness. Even if your child is “conditioning” with their sport, they may just be focusing on running and cardio type exercise. Sometimes all it takes is a few sessions to get kids and parents on the right track and prevent injuries from occur-ring. Help your child stay at the top of their game by conditioning and strengthening the muscle groups that could be overlooked and may be contributing to injuries. Heartland offers a core strength evaluation and program for young athletes.

expanding cardiology

Jackson Purchase Medical Center (JPMC) added cardiologist Dr. Thomas Salvucci to its medical staff on July 16. Salvucci is a specialist in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of

diseases of the heart, including heart attacks, heart failure, endo-carditis, pericarditis, peripheral artery disease, and serious heart rhythm disturbances. Filling the need for expanded cardiology coverage in the region, Salvucci’s training and experience are welcome enhancements to the total cardiac care services now available to JPMC patients and the region. “I’m truly grateful to be a part of the cardiac care team at JPMC because this is so important to a community of this size. Now, patients don’t have to waste critical time traveling out of the area to find attention, evaluation, and treatment for heart disease. We have an amazing team and high quality life-saving technologies in place right here,” said Salvucci. The cardiologist received his medical degree from the Philadel-phia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1980. He completed an internship at Suburban General Hospital, Norristown, Penn.; and residencies at Phoenix General Hospital, Phoenix, Ariz., and Ken-nedy Memorial Hospitals, Stratford, NJ. In addition, he completed a fellowship at Deborah Heart and Lung Center, Browns Mills, NJ. Salvucci is board-certified in Internal Medicine and Cardiology. Potential patients can find his office in the Jackson Purchase Medi-cal Pavilion. Heart disease is a leading cause of illness, hospitalization, and death in America. As JPMC’s new cardiologist, Salvucci suggests the following tips for maintaining a heart health:• Eat a diet low in saturated fat.• Quit smoking. Nicotine use has been linked to a wide variety of

life-threatening illnesses and heart disease is prominent among

them. Use any of the myriad cessation techniques and tools available to you today and make this the year you quit.

• Have your blood pressure checked regularly.• Engage in moderate exercise for at least 30 minutes, five days

a week.• If you are diabetic, follow the guidelines set forth by the American

Diabetes Association. For more information, visit: www.diabetes.org.

Remember that moderation is the key to a healthy heart.

budget boost

Fill up with a lower-octane gasoline. Buy the lowest grade or octane of gasoline that is appropriate for your car. Unless your car

requires premium gasoline, filling up your car with high-octane fuel is a waste of money. That pricey premium fuel won't boost your car's fuel economy or performance in the least, so skip it. Don't top off. Don't bother topping off when filling your car's gas tank. Any additional gas is just going to slop around or seep out. Why waste your money paying for gas your car won't use? Stop pumping at the first indica-tion that your tank is full when the automatic nozzle clicks off. Tighten up that gas cap. Gas will evaporate from your car's gas tank if it has an escape. Be sure to tighten up that gas cap each time you fuel up your car. Go for the shade. The hot summer sun that makes the inside of your car feel like a sauna also zaps fuel from your gas tank. Park your car in the shade of a building or tree whenever possible. And buy a good windshield shade. A windshield shade blocks sunlight and helps to keep heat out of the inside of your car. Use your garage for your car. Got a ga-rage? Clear it out and make room for your car. Parking in your garage will help your car stay warm in winter and cool in summer, and you won't have to depend as much on your gas-guzzling air-conditioning or defroster when you drive. Pump up your tires. Don't get caught driving on underinflated tires. Underinflated tires wear down more quickly and they also lower your car's gas mileage. Tires that have low pressure offer more resistance so the engine is going to work harder to keep the car at 60 mph. Your car's gas mileage may plummet by as much as 15 percent. Driving on underinflated tires may also reduce the life of your tires by 15 percent or more. Check your tire pressure once a month. Buy a digital gauge and keep it in your glove box. Compare the pressure in your tires with the recommended pressure listed in your owner's manual and on the plac-ard in your car door. Then inflate your tires as needed. Be sure to check tire pressure when your tires are cold. A good time is early in the morn-ing after your car's been idle overnight. Keep your engine in tune. Fixing a car that is out of tune or has failed an emissions test can boost gas mileage by about 4 percent. So be sure to give your car regular tune-ups. You'll also want to watch out for worn spark plugs. A misfiring spark plug can reduce a car's fuel ef-ficiency by as much as 30 percent.

Replace air filters. Keep a close eye on your engine's air filter. When the engine air filter clogs with dirt, dust and bugs, it causes your engine to work harder and your car becomes less fuel-efficient. Replacing a clogged air filter could improve your gas mileage by as much as 10 percent and save you 15 cents a gallon. It's a good idea to have your engine air filter checked at each oil change Use the right oil. You can improve your car's gas mileage by 1 per-cent to 2 percent by using the manufacturer's recommended grade of motor oil. Opt for motor oil with the words "energy conserving" on the API performance label. This oil contains friction-reducing additives. Don't skimp on maintenance. Be serious about auto care. Your car's performance depends on it.

The next generation of an even more sophisticated da Vinci robotic surgery is available now at Western Bap-tist Hospital, extending its minimally-invasive options to

heart and lung procedures. A second robot has just been added, and Cardiothoracic Surgeon, K. Ken Ung, MD, recently trained to perform lung and heart surgery with the robot. He is assisted by Cardiotho-racic Surgeon, Carl Johnson, MD. He is beginning with lung surgery to remove early stage cancers. Da Vinci lung surgery requires a significantly smaller incision than other minimally invasive techniques and creates less discomfort and scarring for the patient, Dr. Ung said. “The safety and efficacy of robotics technology has been well-documented,” Dr. Ung said. “Experts in our field say it is a day and night difference in terms of the surgeon being able to visualize during surgery; and it’s an exciting tool for my car-diothoracic patients, especially when we transition to robotic heart surgery, doing robotic valves or robotic bypasses.” The da Vinci seamlessly translates the surgeon’s hand, wrist, and finger movements into precise, real-time move-ments of surgical instruments inside the patient in an area smaller than would be required for the surgeon’s hands. The new system features more sophisticated controls and a multi-functional touch screen to provide additional clinical benefits and operation efficiencies. Its fluorescence imaging allows surgeons to capture images of tissue and surrounding blood vessels by injecting a unique fluorescence dye activated by near-infrared light, which marks the difference between normal tissue and cancerous tissue. More than 600 people have benefited from shorter hospi-tal stays and quicker recovery close to home, since Western Baptist brought the first da Vinci to western Kentucky in 2009. Procedures have included hysterectomy; treatment of throat cancer; removal of the prostate and partial removal of the kidney.

Every PurpleLight Tells a Story

Submitted by Pancreatic Cancer Action Network

One hundred people standing in the darkened night sharing a mutual connection—a loved one fighting the fight of their life or lost forever to a devastating disease called pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States. There are no early detection methods and treatment op-tions are extremely limited. Seventy-four percent of people die within the first year of diagnosis. Sadly, just six percent survive five years or more.

Last fall, in communities across the country, thousands of people par-ticipated in one of over forty-five PurpleLight National Vigil for Hope events. I took part in my first PurpleLight Vigil here in Western Ken-tucky. There is something so heartwarming, healing, and inspiring about holding a light to honor and remember those who are fighting or have died from pancreatic cancer. As the night began, family members, loved ones, friends, and survivors arrived. Most people were dressed in purple, the color symbolic for pancreatic cancer. Some held photos and wore t-shirts with their loved one’s name on their back. Everyone was there for the same reason—to honor and to remember. As the vigil began, the lone guitar player gently strummed the tune to Rascal Flats “I Won’t Let Go.” There was a peacefulness felt in the darkened night and as names were slowly read, you could hear the cracking of a glow-stick, and a purple light would be held up, again and again. Soon the night was filled with over 100 purple lights. Each PurpleLight tells a story of a person: loved, fighting, others gone but never forgotten. As the song “I Won’t Let Go” was sung, I held a light for my Daddy; tears flowed, and hope filled my heart. PurpleLight National Vigil for Hope is a time to honor loved ones fighting pancreatic cancer and those who have lost the fight. It’s a won-derful opportunity for family and friends of those touched by pancreatic cancer to come together to gain both comfort and encouragement. This fall we will once again come together to turn the country pur-ple with PurpleLight National Vigil for Hope 2012! Register for this free event online at www.purplelight.org to be a part of the 2nd annual event in Western Kentucky. Please join us in creating awareness of pancreatic cancer and hon-oring those who have battled this disease, knowing that people all across the United States are doing the same.

Together we can Know it, Fight it, End it! For more information about pancreatic cancer, visit www.pancan.org.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and soon we will be seeing pink ribbons and pink signs everywhere. The fact that the world is recognizing the triumphs and tribulations

of breast cancer helps renew our hopes for continuing progress and improving chances of a cure. Those of us who deal with breast cancer on a daily basis and those courageous women battling breast cancer need no reminder to be aware of this disease. Every day all of our associates and patients continue to “fight the good fight”. In particular, there are three areas where the last year has been very pro-ductive at Lourdes Women’s Center for our patients battling breast cancer:1. The region’s only nurse navigator program is providing emotional

support and education for all of our patients with breast cancer. We recently added physical therapy to the Lourdes Women’s Center to facilitate women returning to normal activity and provide early detec-tion of long-term problems like lymphedema.

2. “Beads of Courage” has been in place for a year and is available for all of our new breast cancer patients at no charge. It provides a tangible reminder of each woman’s journey to healing with her

breast cancer. Many tears of hope, joy, and fear accompany every woman's battle with breast cancer. Caring and support during this process is very reassuring and helpful for these ladies.

3. As we become increasingly sophisticated in our initial evaluation of breast cancer, it is becoming clear that one size does NOT fit all. In-dividualizing therapy for each woman based on the particulars of her cancer is now a reality. While we are still at the early phase of this part of our journey to a cure, there is ongoing progress being made. I am par-ticipating in a study involving genetics and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (chemo given before the surgery). It will hopefully provide valuable infor-mation regarding which medication to use with which breast cancers.

Help support breast cancer awareness with your prayers, time and financial support. There are always needs at every level for these cou-rageous women.

aftercare services

“A Family Tradition”Submitted by Milner and Orr Funeral Homes

Around Western Kentucky, many families can trace their roots back over a century…or more. Well, that’s also true of many of the family-owned businesses located in our community such as

Milner & Orr Funeral Homes. Looking back, we can see how many of today’s services have evolved with improved service, convenient loca-tions, and more choices. Back in the late 1800s, funeral services offered limited options. Caskets were sold by general stores and white or black were the only options. A horse-drawn hearse was the only means of transportation until motorized models were more available in the late 1920s. Em-balming was new technology in the 1920s and funeral homes weren’t introduced until a few decades later. While technology and services change over time, the people that start and continue family traditions of family-owned businesses pro-vide home-town compassionate care to ensure families feel comfort-able in the homelike surroundings. The reason—and difference—is the people. The family of Milner & Orr Funeral Home is the sixth generation to provide funeral services. They have experienced losses themselves, and their dedication to the profession helps them understand how hard it can be to deal with the death of a loved one.

When choosing a funeral home, the more you know about family-owned and operated funeral homes, the more you will come to ap-preciate the difference. Many can provide the one-on-one assistance you desire. Whether you need to consult about pre-arrangements, or would like more information about a topic like cremation options or funeral costs, or are interested in aftercare services, you can receive friendly, compassionate attention to your needs. Family-owned folks are involved in various parts of the community. It’s nice to know whom you’re working with. If you are buying a home or hiring handy work, it’s the personal service you can receive with a local small business that means the most.

Milner and Orr Funeral Homes has been honored to be chosen the Readers Choice 2012 Best Funeral Home. To be chosen by families from around western Kentucky is the highest honor we could possible receive. We sincerely thank you for the trust you have placed in us to care for you and your family during the most difficult times. We are part of this community. We are family. We are Milner and Orr Funeral Home. For more information, please contact Milner and Orr Funeral Home at 270-442-5100. They are located at 120 Memorial Drive in Paducah, KY

There seems to be a new scam identified almost daily. They in-clude offers for diabetes supplies, back braces, discount health cards, and other special offers. They all have one thing in common—

to obtain your personal information. It may be your Medicare ID, your bank account routing numbers, credit card numbers, and other information that will allow them to submit bills to Medicare or obtain other services. The offers may sound real and the callers can be very convincing. The offer of “free” diabetes supplies or medical equipment can be en-ticing. The saying “if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is” is a good thing to remember. Do not provide this information to anyone unless you know who they are and why they need it. The best action to take is to simply hang up the telephone. The Federal Trade Commission recently identified a scam where the caller claims to be from the government, under the Affordable Care Act, and needs to verify some information. They may have the routing number for the person’s bank and then use that information to get the person’s entire account number. Other times they have asked for Social Security numbers, Medicare IDs, or other personal information. Anytime you receive a call from someone claiming to be from the government and needs your personal information, hang up. The government and other organizations you do busi-ness with already have the information they need and will not ask for it.

Your input is needed in order to help stop Medicare fraud. Follow the message on our new billboard and report medicare fraud. Call your Senior Medicare Patrol at 270-442-8993.

Protecting Yourself Against Medicare FraudBy Eddie Jordan, SMP Project Coordinator


senior well-being

Elderly people often suffer from sore joints and muscles and mas-sage and/or reflexology can help ease these aches and pains. A hand or foot massage can be very soothing and refreshing.

Headaches and tension are lessened by receiving scalp massage and face toning massage with some energy work included. The elderly suffer deep loneliness in our society. Not only do they experience the pain and discomfort that accompany their changing physical state, they are sometimes isolated at a time when comfort is needed the most. These individuals have the need for touch. The elderly often are mourning the loss of their spouse, pets, homes they have lived in most of their life and the fear of dying along. Don’t under estimate the power of massage. A gentle stroking massage can help ease discomfort from arthritis, osteoporosis, and help increase the circulation to weakened muscles. Massage can also benefit those suffering from Alzheimer’s and stroke. Massage improves circulation, decreases muscle tension and stiffness, increases the range of motion, and helps decrease in-flammation of the joints. Massage is useful in reducing anxiety and improving communication in Alzheimer’s clients. Massage is a way of communication and helps reconnect the elderly with their body that has long failed them.

Massage For the Elderly By Jenny Stephens, Lmt

There is nothing negative in the elderly receiving massage and helps make the world seem a less lonely place to be. It is very important that the massage therapist know what type of medications the client is tak-ing. This is a time for a very, very light touch because the skin is fragile and can easily bruise. For the very frail and/or modest client they may wish to receive a simple hand and foot massage or a face toning massage. The undi-vided attention that the elderly received during massage tells them they are cared for, lovable, and a sense of well-being. Not only is massage totally relaxing, unwinding, and rejuvenating, but it is very therapeutic. Individuals that receive regular massages and/or reflexology do not get sick as often as others and when they do, they don’t get it as bad or keep it as long. Receiving a massage once a month is good, but more frequent is best. Get a massage today and sleep better tonight!
